Morgan’s Restaurant

“You’ve not had breakfast out,” a reader wrote last November, “until you’ve had it at Morgan’s.” With glowing praise, she used words such as charming, perfect atmosphere, and relaxed. A peek at Morgan’s website marked it as the ideal place to visit over the Christmas holidays; life had other plans. Then, on Valentine’s Day, my husband and I decided to celebrate the day with a leisurely drive across the valley to finally eat breakfast at Morgan’s. When we arrived, the restaurant was packed but in such a pleasant atmosphere we didn’t mind waiting. Within 20 minutes, we were shown to our table next to one of the beautiful stone walls.

The breakfast menu at Morgan’s extends beyond the ordinary with dishes like German Apple Pancakes and Four Cheese Frittatas. Valentine’s specials included a cheese and mushroom omelet, a chocolate Belgian Waffle and stuffed French toast with blackberries. Difficult to choose, especially when chocolate is involved, but I went with the French toast. M. ordered eggs and crab hash. As we sipped from our large coffee mugs, we were embraced by the easy charm and grace of the restaurant. The red cloth-covered tables were surrounded with family groups and couples, young and old talking quietly…enjoying their meals.

Within a short time, our smiling young waitress delivered our order. M.’s poached eggs were cooked harder than he likes, but the rest of our meal was superb. The plate of crab hash, a unique blend of crab meat, onion, and potatoes, was filled with flavor. My French toast was stuffed with sweetened cream cheese topped with fresh blackberries and a light and lovely lemon sauce. A sensational blend of flavors! The delicious meal, graceful atmosphere, and attentive service made for a special Valentine’s Day breakfast. Thank you, Morgan’s. And thanks also to Diane, for the recommendation!

Our total bill came to just over $20 (plus tip) for two eggs, cottage fries, toast, a plate of crab hash, stuffed French toast, and two mugs of coffee with ample refills.

“When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?" ...........
"What's for breakfast?" said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?" ......
"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet. ...
Pooh nodded thoughtfully. "It's the same thing," he said.” ......

The plethora of secrets for many of the most preferred online games is proof that computers and machines remain often a bad complement to
the attention and cunning potential from the human being mind.

Business majors who with no worked in a present corporation are apt to
do poorly unless they not greatly of what they’ve been educated in class
and rely lead the observations of band mates at workplaces instead.
Another good example of much needed information comes into play in the game of World of Warcraft, if you have played this game did you know that there is
a gold rush, where each and every single player is trying to acquire this virtual gold in order to
get items that will allow them to enhance the characters as they play in advance from level
to level.

I am looking for a restaurant that will be serving Thanksgiving Dinner and I am wondering if your restaurant will be open and serving. I have a party of approximately 12 individuals. Please let me know if you will be entertaining the possibility of Thanksgiving Dinner in the Valley. Thank you.

I was disappointed with Morgan’s breakfast. There seemed to be a disconnect between the menu and what was served. I agree the setting is wonderful and I’ve been there a few times for other meals that were very good, but I felt like what was served for breakfast was not as described, and was average at best.
